Canals Map revealed for CS: GO

The brand new addition to Counter-Strike: Global Offensive’s map line-up was revealed by Valve. The map is called ‘Canals’, based on an Italian city and on “real-world environments”. The map’s existence first came to light last year when players found references to “canals” in the game files.

“The CT side is composed of a large, wide open area while the T-controlled territory forms a crescent of smaller spaces around it and provides multiple approaches to each bomb site.”

“While the map is based on a real-world location, the aesthetics are intentionally clean and uncluttered for good player visibility. In addition, many of the environmental models are built in a modular fashion so they can be easily re-used by community map makers.”
